The wii u competition is not just the PS4 and XB One but also the XB360 and PS3 - for the next year at least the PS3 and XB 360 will be more completion for the wii u than the new consoles

I hink everyone agrees that more games and good games will increase wii u sales- the question is: will they increase sales enough for the wii u to be a successful console (of course the definition of a successful console is up for debate too)


Idk, I think sales for the PS3 and 360 are gonna plummet when the PS4 and X1 come out, just like they did for the Wii when the Wii U came out.


The PS3/360 are still getting a lot of new games though at least through 2014 I have to think.

Metal Gear Solid V, Grand Theft Auto V, Ultra Street Fighter IV, Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty Ghosts, Destiny, all of EA's sports games, etc.


Ya, I didn't say software sales were gonna plummet, only hardware sales.  Basically everyone that wants a 360 or PS3 has one by now, and the only people I see still buying them when the X1 and PS4 come out are people that need one because their old one broke.  I will say though if there is a significant price drop then the hardware sales will be steady, at least for a little while longer.  Also one thing tha I forgot to factor in is the Wii U can play Wii games, where as the X1 and PS4 can't play past gen games.
